Time

Really there needs to be quite a few more hours in the day. Hours preferrably not spent at my thankless paying job. Time which I could use to write. Or sleep. Either of the two would be nice at this point. It's gotten to the point at my real job where I spend most of the daydreaming about being somewhere else and I constantly feel like I need a vacation. I either daydream about writing or I daydream about a beach on the Bay of Fundy, where the breeze blows salty sweet and fresh and the sun shines brightly...

Sigh... I need to win the lottery...

Inspiration

Inspiration comes from the oddest places for me. Sometimes all it takes is a picture, or a moment, or even just an overheard phrase and my mind starts working overtime. As a writer, I think I'm the most unbearable then, when I get that new idea... I have to write as much as I can as quickly as I can, while that feeling lasts. If I don't, I lose it, and then I'm back to being stuck.

For "Not My Type" the inspiration came from a trip I took with my mother and sisters to Prince Edward Island. I had never been before even though I read about it constantly in my youth, and the experience was nothing less than absolutely magical. I loved every moment of it. I would move there is a heartbeat if I knew hubby would go along with it. As it is, I have to content myself with the pictures I brought home, the world I'm spinning for Lilly, Adam, Rhiannon, Joe, Adele and Nate, and the bright hope I'll be able to return some day soon.

The First Time

They do always say the first time is special. Truth is, I'm probably not going to amount to much of a blogger. At all. I certainly won't make any promises. But it's worth a shot, even if it's just to keep you all updated when my stories post.

I'm hoping this can be a place where my readers will be able to see a little of my thought process, where I can thank you all for the wonderful feedback I receive daily, and where I can share the frustrations and joys of being a writer.

I encourage feedback of course and welcome any thing you might have to say/suggest/bitch about in regards to my writing. I'm looking forward to seeing how this works out.
